Are you one of the millions of commuters in the Philippines who rely on the beep™ card for seamless travel on buses, MRT, LRT, and even some ferries? If so, here’s some fantastic news for you: you can now load your beep™ card using GCash, making it easier than ever to keep your card topped up for your daily journeys!

What is the beep™ Card?

The beep™ card is a contactless stored value card widely used for cashless transactions in the Philippines’ public transportation system. It simplifies commuting by allowing users to tap the card on designated readers to pay fares for trains, buses, and even some ferries. The card is reloadable, easy to use, and helps reduce the need for carrying cash while traveling.

Gone are the days of long queues at ticket vending machines or searching for the nearest convenience store just to reload your beep™ card. With the convenience of GCash, you can reload your card anytime and anywhere, right from your smartphone. Here’s how it works:

Step-by-Step Guide to Loading Your beep™ Card via GCash:
